It is now 1915. The Halloway family has had a rough five years. In 1911, Edward was shot by someone he was trying to apprehend. He was shot in the leg, and spent almost 7 months recovering. When he was cleared by the doctors to return to work, the police department put him at a desk job. Edward worked there for a year and a half before he had had enough. In 1914, Edward decided to move the family to Colorado so that he could work in the field again. Edward was hired as the deputy sheriff in a mid-sized Colorado town. The family now lives there, and Edward enjoys his job quite a bit more.In 1912, Lou found herself expecting another baby. The baby was born nearly two months early and was a stillborn little boy. The family mourned the loss of the child, but were more worried when Lou developed an infection after the birth. During this period, Edward and Adam were very helpful in taking care of the younger four kids. Lou was sick for about a month, but then recovered. The doctors told her that she would bear no more children; however, they were surprised when, in 1914, Lou found herself pregnant! The Halloways welcomed another little boy on June 2, 1915. Stephen is only a few months old, but already he is well loved by every member of the family. Adam is now fifteen. He enjoys wandering around in the Colorado wilderness, and has become quite adept at finding his way around in the woods and mountains there. He still wants to be an explorer, but thinks that maybe he will do something a little more practical. Just what, he hasn't decided. Ben is ten. He hasn't matured a whole lot in the past five years. He's a bit of a troublemaker, and also likes being outside. He especially likes the wide open spaces in Colorado and going fishing. Mikey is nine. He likes going fishing with Ben and Henry. Mikey also does very well in school and has lots of friends whom he likes to play with. Henry is seven. He likes being outside, but adores Edward. He follows him around whenever possible and can often be found sitting in the police office doing his homework or talking to the sheriff or other townspeople who come around. Hope is six. She just started school and is quite the tomboy. She likes running around in pants and doing "boy" things. Lou, however, tries to teach her how to be a lady.
